Did some sketches for possible layouts for my 7.5g Mr. Aqua tank! I'm going for something really simple and simplistic. It's going to be a wabi kusa layout. I'm probably over thinking it for it to follow the naturalistic ways that accompany wabi kusa, but here are the sketches I did. Any comments are welcome, things you like, hate, or you think are stupid

Did maintenance for the first time in over a month. The tank has really taken a hit. That's what happens when you have mid-terms I'm not sure if I will ever get this tank to look nice! Especially after taking a hit like this, I'm not sure i fit will be able to recover. Honestly not sure how long I'll keep it up for; maybe I'll change the scape up some. Not sure what I would change, ideas?

We can be patient for pictures Homework is pretty important anyway...just a little bit.

You'll appreciate the early college credit when you get to the undergraduate level. It'll save you time and lots of $. Most schools require some amount of general education classes. Mine's not as bad as St. Bonnies sounds like it used to be but it's still fairly intensive.

There's 6 categories, Literature, Social Science, Natural Science (x2), History, Art, and something else and you need 4 credits in each (and 8 from two of the three fields in natural science). Also, the second semester of a foreign language and a class with a global perspectives marking (a class is labeled with this if it meets certain criteria) are required.

The philosophy behind it is to provide a well rounded education but sometimes it just seems like checking boxes off a list.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE BEST PART OF CYBER SCHOOL IS?!??!?! That I'm in english class right now

Yeah well rounded is always good I think I may pursue physical therapy, so I will be in school for 6+ years. Just the thought is daunting!

Sure thing! I'll look right now!

Anyways. At my school, the general requirement is called Clare College. It consisted of 12.. Yes 12 classes. In addition to other general education requirements.

Assuredly, it takes one ages to fulfill all of them.

The program is now reformed for all incoming freshman thanks to all of us who ceaselessly complain about it.

I'd never recommend anybody to Bonaventure if they hadn't finally modified the system.

I am a proud Journalism and Mass Communication major.

That's insane!!!

And no pics today, I had too much homework; Maybe Saturday.

I entered college with 30 credits from high school.

Really? What are you studying? I thought that after you get past gen-eds in college most classes would be pretty interesting..or at least something you know you can apply in your career. What is your major?

Next semester I will take all or most of my classes at a college so I can get credit for both highschool and college.

At least that's how it is in my highschool. If I was taking all standards, my GPA would be something like 3.6.

Thanks! I'm pretty proud of myself! Me too! Hehe! I shouldn't even be here right now, physics is calling my name! My honors class helped pull my GPA up. I only got a B but it is an honors class so it counts as more.
